May 13, 2011

Make no mistake about
it…the tattoo industry is hot property. There are an estimated 20,000+
parlors operating in the United States, according to a U.S. News & World
Report article, which said, on the average, an establishment is being added
in the country every day. The article ranked tattooing as the sixth fastest
growing retail venture of the 1990s, right behind Internet, paging services,
bagels, computer and cellular phone service. Temporary tattoos are also
making great strides in popularity…especially temporary tattoos for adults
and kid’s tattoos.

Emerging from their often
unsavory reputation of the recent past, tattoos have gained increasing
prominence in the past decade. Life magazine estimated in 1936 that 2% of
Americans had tattoos. Harris Polls, done in 2003 and 2008, shows those
numbers at an estimated 16% (2003) and 14% (2008) of Americans now have one
or more tattoos.

Thirty-six percent of those
ages 18 to 25, and 40 percent of those ages 26 to 40, have at least one
tattoo, according to a fall 2006 survey by the Pew Research Center.

The National Geographic
News stated in April 2000 that 15% of Americans were tattooed (or
approximately 40 million people!)

Esquire Magazine estimated
in March 2002 that 1 in 8 Americans was tattooed.

The Harris Poll done in
2003 estimated that fully 36% of those aged 25-29 had one or more tattoos.
Another Harris Poll done in 2008 showed that same age group had dropped to
32% with one or more tattoos.

According to the American
Society of Dermatological Surgery, they stated in 2005, that of all the
people they treat with laser and light therapy, only 6% are getting a tattoo
removed.

A 2006 a study done by the
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that 24% of Americans
between 18 and 50 are tattooed; that's almost one in four. And the survey
showed that about 36% of Americans age 18 to 29 have at least one tattoo!

Over 50% of kids and adults
say they have tried temporary tattoos.

The tattoo industry spawns
an amazing amount of internet searches…here are some astounding numbers
about tattoos and temporary tattoos:

Search Engine Lycos ranks
the Top 50 search terms every week. "Tattoos" was the third most popular
search term in 2002, the fourth most popular search term in 2001, seventh
most popular search term for the year 2000, and the eleventh most popular
search term in 1999. Temporary tattoos are not far behind.

"Tattoo, tattoos and
temporary tattoos" are among the search terms to never fall out of the Top
50 Search terms in the 199 weeks since Lycos has been keeping track. The
other six are Dragon Ball, Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears,
Las Vegas and the WWE/WWF.

In July of 2002 "tattoos
and temporary tattoos" reached its highest ranking ever coming in as the
number two most requested search term on the internet. "Tattoos" was
requested more often than Britney Spears, marijuana or Kazaa, illustrating
that skin ink is more popular than "sex, drugs and rock n' roll!"

According to Lycos, tattoos
and temporary tattoos rarely drop out of the top ten search terms requested
on the Internet and Lycos dropped the term because they wanted to make room
for other searches.

Search engine Ask.com found

No longer has taboo, the
popularity of tattoos and temporary tattoos proves that skin is always

arms, wrists and ankles. Unmentionables also rank high.

Angelina's tattoos rank the
highest in the celebrity category. Ask.com searchers are also intrigued by
other celebs. Most notably, Nicole Richie, Alyssa Milano and heavy metal
rockers Metallica.

Here are some extremely
interesting things people have to say about having a tattoos and temporary
tattoos:

Three in Ten Americans with
a Tattoo say having one makes them feel sexier.

Just under half of adults
without a Tattoo say they would like to get one in the future.

Most people with a tattoo
say they plan to get more tattoos or purchase more temporary tattoos.

In the past five years,
much has been discussed about the stigmas of those with tattoos. But, that
does not seem to have much of an impact of the number of people who have
them as just 2 percent fewer Americans say they have tattoos. Also, the
number who regrets their tattoo has also not really changed in the past five
years. But, if the number of the youngest age group continues to shun
tattoos, and that continues as younger teens hit 18, there may be a change
in those having tattoos in the long run.

Among those under 18,
temporary tattoos are loved by all ages.

Tattoos for kids are
extremely popular search terms among school age kids.

Temporary tattoos for
adults are also searched for in greater numbers than ever before.
